Pilot Flies Ebola Family to Safety

A daring humanitarian flight over the Congo: Pilot Dominic Villeneuve, 30, evacuated an Ebola-exposed American doctor’s family—wife, kids, and another infected worker—to safety in Uganda, all while wearing full PPE and staying calm. This wasn’t his first high-stakes rescue—he’s pulled teams from war zones—but Ebola was new territory. The family was asymptomatic, easing his fears. With over 100 confirmed cases and rising deaths in the DRC, this mission highlights MAF’s vital role in connecting remote communities during outbreaks. Villeneuve, inspired by childhood airport visits and a church talk, now flies to save lives. Canada pledged $8 million to fight the crisis, and Villeneuve called for global unity and prayer.
